The black aluminum roof rack for the VW T7 Transporter from model year 2024 onwards is designed for anyone who transports materials on a daily basis: tradespeople, service providers, contractors, and businesses. The aerodynamic tube shape ensures a pleasantly smooth ride on the highway, and the rear rollers across the entire width of the roof rack make loading ladders, pipes, or long items noticeably easier.
